[PDX 2000 (first generation) - Vibrating tonearm problem]

Hey, I know this is an old thread but there are still folks out there with pdx2000ʻs that have this issue.  Iʻve posted a video on YouTube of how to do the repair in case anyone is interested.  It is a totally doable project if you have basic soldering skills.  You can watch it here:

Greetings all,

Has anyone done this modification? Removing the diodes and replacing the resistors? I’ve scoured the Internet and the only source I’ve found is this site and the vinylengine site.  Can’t find a notice of Vestax issuing a recall at the time dated on the modification instruction sheet (Feb 2003) either.
 

I’ve got a pair of 2000s I’m considering doing the midi mod on, but want to address a few other issues first such as this motor feedback thing. I’d like to know whether this is a legit fix or will fry the PCB or motor. 
 

Thanks.

I just did this mod today and it worked well.  Took me about 1 hour and I’ve only soldered stuff a few times before.  My pdx has other issues like the start stop button being finicky but removing the diodes and replacing the resistors fixed the vibration issue I was getting.
